The commissioner did not release the team yet. I know it has been completed but there were some questions. The Hayward boys coach didn’t show so no Hayward players are on the team. That is a rule so it will probably stand.

Jimmy, are you sure it’s No. 10 vs. No. 5. That doesn’t make sense to me. Why wouldn’t the No. 7 seed play the play-in game? Seems silly to make the No. 5 team do that. Just curious, because it goes against every standard seeding system I’ve seen in the past.

Don’t they only seed the top 4 and then after that it is based on location? That could be why it worked out that way. Not sure, though.

Yeah Chace, the other six aren’t really seeded, but that’s the hosting priority so I put the numbers up there. Lowell gets the hosting priority as a section champion, but has no real quality strength of schedule and so that’s why it’s banished to the play-in game.

Michael Bower

Banished … haha, I love that choice of word.

Bower – Thanks but that’s a bummer if none of Hayward’s players are recognized especially after winning NCS because of their coach dropping the ball. I would have to think that Berry and Martin would be 1st team and Nasir second team.
